Death Jester, WIP #2

Almost there. I have started taking pictures as a technique to look for mistakes and final details for improvement, so I will not say that he is done yet. Pretty close though...

I think the waystone on the ribcage armour needs to be painted purple as the gems on the gun... And maybe the blue gem should go purple also... Definately some slightly starker shading in the grills on the helmet, red/purple I think. The brown pants could do with a bit of jazz also... Anything else?

I am really happy with the way the gun looks, and also the yellow came out very much like I envisioned it.

The black is a little more complicated here. Black mixed with purple and blue wash and water washed over the weapon. Then highlights of light grey. Then glazing down using red wash mixed with black paint. Then redi the highlights and finally some subtle glazing of a warm brown in certain places to break the black. It is a little hard to explain.

But I am trying to work out an army style execution of this kind of black finish. A seriously faster approach, but lets see.

Wow, he is looking really nice. I really like how you have done the yellow on his coat, it has sort of a drab, muted look to it. I like the brown pants too; they are a far departure what you normally see, but I sort of like that. Maybe consider painting some patterns or flames on his pants? Similar to his collar?

ABOUT

I work a lot with the same models, moods, even the same bits. Miniatures and bits in particular are part of my 3D language. Sculpting and painting adds more signs to the work or TEXT as some might call it.

This is a place for me to share and discuss modelling and miniature painting projects. My own projects as well as miniatures and works/texts from where I find inspiration.
